Teaching Literacy through History

Teaching Literacy through History (TLTH)™ is an interdisciplinary professional development program that uses primary documents and historical texts to improve K–12 education.

Gilder Lehrman’s Master Teacher Fellows work with teachers and educators to improve content knowledge, align curriculum with their state’s core history, civics, and English language arts standards, including but not limited to Common Core initiatives, and introduce skills that can be brought back to the classroom, library, or museum—any institution looking to inspire more knowledgeable, focused, and engaged students.

Customized Professional Development

Each Teaching Literacy through History program is customized to meet the needs of the participating school, district, or state. A suite of program options are available, ranging from multi-year partnerships to one-day workshops. TLTH trainings and follow-up sessions can be delivered on-site or online.
